Gabriel Iglesias, nationally-known stand-up comic, was so moved by the tragedy of the Aurora shooting that he has announced a benefit show for Caleb Medley -- a shooting victim who sustained a severe head injury and remains in a medically induced coma in intensive care, continuing the fight for his life.

"I wanted to do something special for the victims of the shooting," Iglesias told The Huffington Post. "When I learned that one of the victims who survived was a comedian who had no health insurance and had a wife with a baby on the way I knew I had to help."

"I know what it's like to have a family and not have insurance and really need it," Iglesias said. "As a comic, insurance was one of those sacrifices I made early on until I could afford it. Now that I'm in the financial position that I'm in, it's time to give back. I feel very connected to this cause even though Caleb and I have never met."

Iglesias will be joined by comics Martin Moreno and Alfred Robles. In addition to the money raised at the show, Comedy Central will also be making a donation and will be promoting the benefit show on its network providing information for anyone else interested in donating.
